 We heard all kinds of sirens when we came home from work and on our way our for dinner we came upon this, at one of the busiest intersections in town. We couldn't quite figure out what happened at the time because this was the only car on location and both sides and front end were banged up. After reading the paper, all they're saying is that two guys got into an argument and were "bumping" each other. At least one got out, one was run over (critical condition), shots were fired, and a gun a shells were found. A suspect was apprehended.

All this happened in our fairly small town, about 6PM. Madness does not even begin to describe it.

Very basic editing.

Holy cow! I thought the car was bad, after reading your comments though the car seems to have gotten the least of it. Nuts!!

I hope they take their licenses and put them into anger management classes
crikey!

The mattress & Radio Shack & KFC logos seem so out of place to the story you tell

OMG, good, that you didn't get there earlier. I'd hate to be a witness to such violence.

The rainy street with the light reflections are like a dramatic backdrop for the tragical happenings going on there earlier.

Wow, that's some slice of life! Unfortunately stories like that are becoming all too familiar.

Unfortunate situation but good shot. The reds and blues of the police cars really add to the drama.

sad story .. great shot .. ppl sometimes just go crazy .. and sometimes ppl have something 'wrong' with their brain .. like an imbalance and often drugs or alcohol are involved .. its a crazy world in many ways .. it can be devastating when ppl get hurt .. everyone suffers .. :)

Oh for god's sake. You wouldn't think that these are adults. I can't believe it. That aside - excellent shot. The reflections and the sign are really awesome.

Wow, what a story! But, it's happening everywhere. And road rage will only increase as populations increase and even more cars are on the road. Nicely captured!

I love the bright lights from the cop cars splashed everywhere.
